Chapter 1139 If you want a daughter, remarriage is also an option.
Ye Qiang nudged him with his elbow: "Hu Jian, you're one of our elite soldiers in the army! Just because you're not good-looking, are you going to give up? Brother, have confidence! A man's looks may be useful, but a man's heart and sense of responsibility are the most important!"
Hu Jian looked at the handsome Ye Qiang and said dismissively, "You good-looking bastard, of course you can talk big without knowing the consequences! If I were as good-looking as you and Fu Chen, I wouldn't be worried at all!"
Liu Meilan chuckled: "Alright! Stop joking. Although what you all say makes sense, it's a second marriage after all, so we need to be more rational. Sincerity is the key; everything else is secondary!"
Hearing Liu Meilan's encouragement, Hu Jian smiled and said, "Meilan, thank you!"
Although Liu Meilan is unwilling to interfere in other people's relationships and marriages, she is still willing to play matchmaker if she sees a suitable person.
Sister Xiufang is so wonderful. Liu Meilan hopes that women like her can not only have children, but also have men who love them.
After all, she's a married woman. The nights are long, and sometimes, without a man by her side, she does feel a little...
Sister Xiufang is so beautiful, and she's a woman with normal needs, so why should she suppress them?
Of course, Liu Meilan also respects Zhang Xiufang's wishes. If Hu Jian confesses his feelings and Zhang Xiufang is unwilling, Liu Meilan will express her support.
Tang Xiaoyu went over to help with cooking and worked alongside Zhang Xiufang.
Zhang Xiufang would occasionally peek out at the children outside, a smile playing on her lips, her gaze involuntarily falling on Hu Xiaoli and Fu Ying.
Zhang Xiufang especially liked the sparkly hair clips and headbands that girls wore, making them look pretty.
Even though Fu Ying's hair wasn't long, Zhang Xiufang tied it into several cute little buns.
Hu Xiaoli's hair had been styled into a pretty braid the moment Zhang Xiufang returned, and she even used hair clips and accessories that Zhang Xiufang had specially bought on the street, suitable for middle-aged children.
Hu Xiaoli, who was playing, looked up and saw Zhang Xiufang. He immediately ran over, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it into Zhang Xiufang's mouth.
"Auntie, have some candy!" Hu Xiaoli said with a smile.
Zhang Xiufang didn't refuse. She opened her mouth wide and ate the candy Hu Xiaoli offered: "Thank you! Go play, Auntie will make you something delicious!"
Hu Xiaoli smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Only after Hu Xiaoli ran out did Zhang Xiufang turn her gaze away.
Tang Xiaoyu blinked and asked curiously, "Sister Xiufang, do you want a daughter?"
Zhang Xiufang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I dream about it! But as you know, I was injured during surgery before. Grandpa Wang and Miaoxiang helped me recover, and they said I'm back to health now, but I'm not sure if I can have children after remarrying! It won't be easy for me to have a daughter in this lifetime!"
Tang Xiaoyu asked with a smile, "Sister Xiufang, since we're such good friends, I'll be frank! What do you think of Hu Jian? You have a son, he has a daughter, you have good character, and he has good character too. You're generous and cheerful, and Hu Jian is humorous and steady—they're a perfect match!"
Zhang Xiufang glanced at Hu Xiaoli outside, her eyes growing brighter and brighter: "That's right! Even if I can't have children, I can still raise a daughter! A stepdaughter is still a daughter!"
Tang Xiaoyu suddenly thought of another question: "Sister Xiufang, Xiaoli's mother is still alive. Maybe after you raise her, Xiaoli will reunite with her biological mother and be closer to her!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "It's nothing. In Chongyang's heart, his biological father is the best! No matter how good his stepfather is to him, he will still think this way! If it were Xiaoli, it would be normal for her to recognize her biological mother! It's not that her mother doesn't love her or care for her. I think she's under too much mental pressure, which is why she wants to escape. She's a mother, but she's also a woman. Staying and causing internal strife is not good for anyone!"
"Besides, what I enjoy about raising my daughter is the process! Dressing her up beautifully every day, combing her hair nicely, and watching her grow up day by day must be incredibly fulfilling! Xiaoyu, you have a daughter, so you must understand this very well!"
Zhang Xiufang laughed: "Yes! Later, have Ye Qiang sound out Hu Jian's intentions. If he's willing to remarry, I'll try to get to know him. If we can get along, we'll communicate further; if not, we'll pretend nothing happened and remain friends!"
Tang Xiaoyu exclaimed in astonishment: "Sister Xiufang, are you serious?"
Zhang Xiufang nodded: "Marriage is a big deal, how can I joke about it? I'm serious! Now Chongyang is all grown up, not only do I not have to worry about his studies, but he can also do his own laundry and cook for himself! A child raised in the atmosphere of our big family can't be bad! So I don't have to worry about him much!"
"My job is also very good, stable, and not too busy! After thinking it over, I really should consider my personal life! When Chongyang grows up, he may go far away, or he may stay by my side. A complete family will also be beneficial for Chongyang to find a partner!"
Tang Xiaoyu sincerely wished her: "Sister Xiufang, I wish you all the best. You've truly moved on! We will all be happy!"
Zhang Xiufang smiled and nodded: "Yes! They will all be happy!"
When Professor Xie returned at noon, lunch was already prepared.
Adults sit at one table, and children sit at another. However, adults must supervise the children while they eat to prevent them from choking on fish bones.
After finishing their meal, Ye Qiang and Tang Xiaoyu left satisfied.
Ye Qiang was completely relieved and walked with Tang Xiaoyu and the child on their way back to his father-in-law's house.
Tang Xiaoyu then told Ye Qiang about Zhang Xiufang's idea: "Sister Xiufang really likes Xiaoli and also thinks Hu Jian is a good person. In addition, Chongyang is getting older, so she wants to remarry. Could you help me ask Hu Jian what he thinks?"
"Huh?" Ye Qiang was slightly taken aback. "What a coincidence! Hu Jian kept glancing at Sister Xiufang while he was talking, so I teased him a bit. Hu Jian admitted that he has feelings for Sister Xiufang! He's just worried that it might be awkward if it doesn't work out, so he hasn't mustered up the courage to confess yet!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu burst into laughter: "This is truly a meeting of minds! I'll leave this to you; you're a man, so communicating with Hu Jian will be much smoother! Sister Xiufang is truly a wonderful woman!"
“I admit that!” Ye Qiang nodded. “But I also have to praise Hu Jian. He’s a good man too! So they’re a perfect match. I’ll sit at my father-in-law’s house for a while, then I’ll call Hu Jian and ask him to come over.”
Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay!"
An hour later, Ye Qiang called Hu Jian, and the two arranged to meet at a small park near the dock.
When Hu Jian saw Ye Qiang, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Is there something you can't say to my face?"
Ye Qiang replied, "Xiaoyu just told me that Sister Xiufang really likes Xiaoli, so she's considering remarrying and thinks you're a good match! You also have feelings for Sister Xiufang, so you'd better make your move!"
Hu Jian was stunned when he heard this: "Ye Qiang, this is no joke!"
Ye Qiang rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Even if I used to be impulsive, I'm settled down now with a family and two kids. I'm very mature now! Do you think I'm joking? Besides, even if I were willing to joke about you, I wouldn't dare joke about Sister Xiufang!"
